10. Lemon Sorrow - Samantha Guinen

Have you ever tasted sorrow, 
I think it taste like lemons, 
If all feelings had a taste i think of lemons, 
They can be sour then can get sweet, 
Lemons sweet or sour then comes the sorrow taste, 
Sorrow taste of rain, 
Sorrow taste of lemons,

This poem is a very short free-verse poem about how sorrow is like lemons.

Lines 1-4 is how feelings can be like lemons, because they can be different, like sweet or sour. Finally, when those feelings go away, there's the 'sorrow' taste, which is everything feeling wrong.

I chose this poem because I thought it was a fun analogy, comparing sorrow to lemons. It breaks up the sadness or grief of most sorrow poems and makes it a bit fun.

The figurative elements in this poem are - Personification (Lines 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7) Metaphor (Line 3)
